Chapter 120
“Why do you like Miss Ward then?”
Leo paused.
Stuart chuckled. “It’s fate. You’re destined to meet the one you like at first glance.”
Leo agreed.
When he first saw Tessa, her eyes had not fully recovered yet. He could only see a vague shape and
her quiet and graceful profile in a white dress.
He fell in love with her, which was uncontrollable.
Speaking of which, his love for Tessa was like fireworks in the sky that lighted up his life suddenly
but vanished at the most beautiful moment.
As Niko had said, his relationship with Tessa lasted only for half a year. During that time, his life
was crammed with work, while she often had to go to Spain to learn the violin.
Their every meeting was like a drop of water in a dry and hot desert, which was extremely sweet but
was far from enough.
Each meeting would be followed by a long separation.
Both of them were eager to see each other again.
The long-lasting desire increased his obsession. It was just like setting off gorgeous fireworks was
always followed by darkness and emptiness.
He couldn’t bring himself back to the present after she died. He couldn’t believe she had died. Except
for the urn, there seemed no evidence to show she had come to the world and his life.
Later on, Megan appeared.
She looked very similar to Tessa.
She tried her best to imitate Tessa, but he knew well that she was not Tessa.
As a traditionally effeminate woman, Tessa didn’t have meticulous logic, strong execution, or a
strong will like Megan.
Megan was more strong-minded than her and most men.
When Sasha came into his life, he had thought that he found a better substitute for Tessa than Megan.
Sasha was more like Tessa. She was as clumsy and weak as Tessa.
But she repelled him for some reason.

Perhaps it was because he got used to efficient communication and perfect cooperation after working
with Megan for a long time. Anyway, he hated fools now.
Fools could do nothing but cry and make trouble. They thought themselves wiser than others, not
knowing their inner thoughts were obvious.
Tessa used to be like this. She was simple, clumsy, and a little slow.
He used to think her cute but now he didn’t like this kind of woman somehow.
“What else did Grandpa say?”
“He said that he was not as healthy as before, so if you wanted to express your concern, you could
just give him a great-grandson instead of useless nutritional supplements or some interesting gadgets.
It will make him happier than anything else.”
“What interesting gadgets?” Leo thought.
“Stuart, what birthday gift… did I give to Grandpa this year?”
“Don’t you know it?”
Actually, it was Megan who prepared the birthday gift for his grandpa every year.
“Some precious herbs and a beautiful hand-made lamp that stars to sing birthday songs as it turns on.
Your grandpa likes it very much and puts it at his bedside. It must have taken you a long time to
make it, didn’t it?”
“Um… yes.”
“It’s so considerate of you to prepare special birthday gifts for your grandpa every year, Mr. Mayor. He
often praises you in public. Oh, if you can give him a great-grandson as soon as possible, he will be
happier.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I don’t like children.”
“That’s because you’re prejudiced against them. When you get older, you’ll like children.”
“I’m already 31 years old.” Leo chuckled.
“I know, You’re over 30 and not young anymore. When your grandfather was your age, your dad
could even install a TV.”
They recalled some past events and then Leo hung up the phone.
When he looked up, he saw Megan walking over.
The loose men’s outdoor jacket revealed her thin, straight legs. Her legs on a pair of white sneakers
looked longer than Sasha’s on high heels.

She stopped to greet some colleagues with a smile from time to time. The transparent band-aid on her
right cheek didn’t decrease her beauty at all.
“Leo.”
Leo didn’t reply.
“Leo!”
By the time Leo came back to his senses, Sasha had already gotten out of the car and stood next to
him.
“What’s up?”
“I’m here to see how you’re doing here. It’s been a while.”
“Um, there are too many people.”
Sasha plunged into his arms due to having been shoved by the crowd, which seemed to have proved
his words.
Leo subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he couldn’t because of the many people behind him, so he
could only stand still and hold her.
“Call your agent to pick you up. And you wait for her here.”
Sasha raised her head from his arms in disbelief, “Why?”
“You’re a trouble for me. Just go home.”
“No, I’m not. I don’t want any snacks. Is that okay?”
As she spoke, Megan looked over.
Leo pushed Sasha away as quickly as he could and kept a distance from her regardless of the crowd.
Sasha understood what he meant. “You mean I’m a trouble for her, right?”
